Keto Thai Drunken Chicken
Thai food is not Keto-friendly, but this dish has been made into a Keto recipe that is also soy-free. You will love the tender chicken thighs sauteed in garlic then seasoned with fish sauce, coconut aminos, and oyster sauce. You can make this dish as spicy as you would like to with the addition of chopped Thai chilies. The more you add, the more buzz you get. The final dish is tossed in a large amount of freshly sliced green scallions and Thai basil leaves.
What is a good substitute for Thai basil?
Thai basil does not have a suitable replacement and is unique to this dish. Please try to source it from your local Asian market.
Do I have to add the Thai chilies?
No, feel free to add as many or as few as you would like.
Do I need a wok to make this dish?
A wok would make this dish taste more authentic, but you can use any saute pan instead.

Excellent recipe. Spicy, aromatic, and delicious- EASY! I used cut chicken legs and added the marinade in the pan at the end. Cooked it throughly then added Trader Joe’s hearts of palm pasta noodles to warm and soak up all the sauce.
